Genealogy News

I've noticed in the past couple of days that there have been some major announcements on genealogy news, and so, I decided to provide links to articles on topics.

To read about the announcement on Civil War Widow's Pensions, check out these articles:

• "National Archives and Genealogical Society of Utah Announce Digitizing Partnership" at Dear Myrtle's Blog
• "Civil War Widow's Pension Files to be Digitized" at Diane Haddad's Genealogy Insider Blog

To read about the announcement on the opening of Pre-1946 military records, check out these articles:

• "National Personnel Records Center Opens more than Six Million New Military Personnel Files" at Dear Myrtle's Blog
• "Dear Myrtle announces NARA Six Million New Military Records Before 1946" at Richard Hillenbrand's Upstate NY Genealogy Notes Blog

I have not included any links on the announcement of Ancestry.com's and the New England Historic Genealogical Society primarily because many other bloggers have already commented on this announcement. Either way, this has been a busy week so far for genealogy news, and as you can see, I haven't been able to keep up.
